Recarnation, Part Two
Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I did not make up the Sailor Senshi's, they belong to Naoko
and everybody else associated with the right. Some of the Inner's name
are made by Aurora Eos Rose and used with premission.
This is my own version of the second life of the senshis. Since
Minako is my favourite of the Inners, I set this is London, England,
where she fought evil as Sailor V before she met the others. The time frame
is 1721. I might have things wrong, since I don't know that much about London
society and protocol and everything, so don't complain about those.
I've a bunch of classes to worry about, so I don't have the time to go back
and change every little detail that I've wrong. Sorry about that. I
hope you like this one.
Ace and Adonis are not the same person.
And some characters are from CCS, and they belong to Clamp.

*The Next Day*
The four of us were gathered at Cassie's home, and I
finished my report on the traitors amidst our Gang. Fury seemed
to pour off each girl, and even timid Diane looked thirsty for blood.
"Should we wait until nightfall?"
Cassie asked.
"No,"
Lita snapped, impatience flashing across her face.
"Let's deal with the traitors now."
Diane and Cassie looked a little unsurely at me, and I
gave a quick nod to show my approval of Lita's suggestion. Cassie
stood up.
"I've a set of spare clothing for us. Meanwhile, let's send
out a servant boy to Ruby, Raven, Violet, and Diamond. They would never
forgive us if we left them out of this. We'll meet them at the usual place."
Half an hour later, the eight of us had been assembled in our
little alcove, and proceeded toward our first destination, ducking into
alleys so we wouldn't attract to much suspicion with our clothing. The
first stop was a tiny apartment in a rather shady part of the town. We
climbed the many flights of steps, and walked towards the door marked
with the number 605. I nodded at Raven and Diamond. They stepped forward
and broke the door down with a powerful kick from both of them. The apartment
was quiet and clean. The eight of us headed for the bedroom. Ruby and I
slammed the door open to find two figures wrapped around each other with
just the sheets, and I took out my gun and shot up to the ceiling, creating
a hole in the roof. The couple bolted up awake. The rest of the girls made
their way into the room as well. Everyone's face was calm, cold and heartless.
All of us had our guns out, pointing it straight at the guy.
"How dare you betray the triad like that? After all we've done for you,
helping you to overcome the divorce and your drug addiction and finding you a job?"
I glared, anger filling my voice. Meanwhile, the girl who was with him
had passed out in fear. The guy went to the floor and begged on his knees for
mercy. His eyes were filled with fear. Our eyes reflected nothing but cruel
and harsh thoughts. As he begged for his life, I used the back of my hand to
smack him across the face. With the strength of the force, he fell to the floor
with a broken nose. He did not bother to fight back because he knew that it was
no use. The Jade Gang had no toleration for traitors, and the crime was always
punished by a quick and painful death. The man knew that he wasn't going to get
away with it. I continued releasing my anger on him, throwing punches and blows
randomly. I held him up and smacked him down, continuously. The other girls only
looked on in amusement. The guy had already been through a blurry state by the
time I kicked him, sending him out of his room and into the living room where
the balcony was. I shot him in his arm, making him useless towards his feeble
attempts at a defense. He was naked; nonetheless it didn't keep me from letting
out my anger from the betrayal on the traitor. I had always hated betrayal, and
I continued beating the living daylights out of the scum. He was hurting too
much to say anything. His face was bruised and he was bleeding badly. I picked
him up by his neck, my nails digging into his skin, before I dragged him to the
balcony where the beating continued. Using my nails, I scratched his face, leaving
deadly scars. Just when he had passed out, I took my gun and shot him senseless.
Every single bullet that I had stored in my gun was fired at him. Every shot brought
more blood dripping out of his body, and my face expressed nothing but disgust.
"Traitor, you should have never messed with the Jades",
Emerald spat at the corpse. The eight of us left the apartment. Ruby,
Emerald, Sapphire, and the rest of the girls were normal with the scenes of me
killing people ruthlessly. They were there to watch as I killed and bail me
out of trouble if I needed them it, but I was only warming up. There were seven
more on the list and they were all going to be paid a rather rude awakening call.
By the time I had been through with the first three, I was getting bored,
and let the rest of the girls take over for me. The last kill was a Jade girl who
had only joined us recently, and her punishment was not easy. We tore her clothes
to shreds, and left her naked as Emerald and Diane assaulted her with punches and
kicks. Blood streamed down her forehead, cheeks, and lips. Emerald, besides me, was
the most ruthless one. She had a knife in her hand and kept stabbing the girl's arm,
breaking it, and transforming it into a object of obstacle to the girl. In a few stabs,
the girl had no more use for her arms. She could no longer even feel it. Then, she
was tied up and dragged through the streets for public humiliation, while the eight of
us were all wearing masks. We dragged the traitor into a dark and shabby alley. The
girl had been crying violently, but we showed no emotion or pity towards the girl.
They knew what the consequences were of betraying the Gang, and they had decided to
take this road. We gagged her and tied a rope around the girl's neck, before hanging
her to her death on a low balcony that had been deserted. Rose was busy throwing
shards of broken glass at the girl's naked body, creating scars and bleeding wounds.
The girl couldn't struggle. She shook for a while, but in a few minutes, she was
still, signifying that our job was done. The girl was dead, her body moving in the
breeze as a warning to all members who might have been toying with the idea of
betraying us.
* Seven days later *
I tossed and turned in my bed, unable to go to sleep.
*My last free day*,
I thought, tears pricking in my eyes.
*Tomorrow, I shall be the Duke's property.*
Artemis slowly moved toward the end of the bed and curled up at my
feet, purring loudly, and finally, I managed to fall into a restless nap.
It seemed that I had only been asleep a second when my mother yelled
through the door,
"Wake up, Aria. Today is your big day."
I stumbled sleepily out of bed, muttering,
"Yeah, big day definitely. My death day."
I swanked toward to the bathroom, and wondered briefly if I should drown
myself, but decided I didn't have the willpower to hold myself under water for
that long. I freshened up, taking as long as possible, hoping against hope that
the wedding would be canceled because of my lateness. I shook my head, cursing
who ever thought of having the wedding in the morning.
*At the crack of dawn, for Jove's sake! Had they no regard whatsoever for
my beauty sleep?*
I stepped out of the privy just as Tomoyo flew through the door, slamming
into me and sending me flying back into my bed. I giggled at the excitement in the
younger girl's eyes despite my heavy heart.
"Mistress, let me help you."
She started throwing petticoats and corsets at me, until I thought I would
suffocate under a pile of clothing.
"Tomoyo!"
I snapped finally,
"would you help me get into all this before we play 'Squash the bride'?"
She danced over, energy and exhilaration in every movement. I shook off
my nightgown, and sucked in my breath as she tightened the corset around my waist.
I swear the corset spanned at the most 15 inches.
"Tomoyo,"
I gasped,
"how am I supposed to breathe?"
I was definitely feeling ill. She stopped in mid-chatter, eyes wide with
innocence and surprise.
"Pardon me, lady."
I rolled my eyes, letting her dress me up. Half an hour later, I glanced
into the mirror where a lightly veiled figure in white stared back at me. The dress
was actually rather pretty, though white was not my favorite color. I glared at
the lace cuffs and neckline, cursing the itchiness.
"Lady, the carriage is here."
Sakura bowed low, appearing in the doorway. I gave my room a last glance,
before following my maid to the front steps, my head held high. I stepped into the
carriage, listening to my mother's ecstatic chatter of the Duke's wealth while my
father was making noncommittal sounds whenever she asked a question.
*Yes, you're getting all this money.*
I thought bitterly,
*At the cost of my life.*
Tears threatened to flow, and I blinked furiously, trying to hold them back.
I glanced out of the window, wishing that the ride would go on forever and would never
have to stop. But all too soon, it rumbled to a halt in front of the London Cathedral.
I stepped out slowly, swaying, grateful that my father's arm kept me from tumbling
down the steps. Tomoyo, who had come with me, hastily pressed a bouquet of lilies
in my hands, before departing to her seat in the audience. I felt as if I was in a
trance. This is how I would always have dreamed my wedding to be. A handsome prince,
music, laughter, and tears of joy. But Kevin was the reverse of a fairy-tale story:
a prince on the outside and a beast within, not to mention that he had killed me in
my past life. I smiled bitterly, walking down the long aisle with my father, every
step pulling me closer and closer to my doom. The rest of the ceremony went by in
a blink of an eye. Sit down, stand up, and repeat after the priest. Kiss the bride,
and you may go. I remember my friends throwing themselves at me, crying. Each of
them wore mismatched earrings, one jade, the other a topaz; a sign that despite
my being married, I would forever be a part of the Jade gang.

End of Chapter 5. Hope you liked it. Please review. If you've any idea for Part 3 (the
time frame has to be between 1721 and the Negaverse), please e-mail me. I've decided to
do five parts of Recarnation, but I honestly don't know what the next setting should be.
The Bombing of Pearl Harbor, WWII, Hawai? The Fall of Hitler? The second industrial
revolution? The Civil War between the North and South? Please give me some ideas, since
I think it'll be really boring to jump from 1721 right to their present life. And drop me
a note, 'kay?
